At some point it became a Yahoo-Plus-only thing, at least the massive number part (my settings menu says 3 for free). People who were already using the feature may have got to keep it. I haven't found too much information on the change yet.Not just this but many sites block and ban DEAs because they're prone for use by spammers and not secure at all since they're disposable. Most DEAs are only active for about 15 minutes, enough to register on a site and be done. As a result someone else can utilize the same one and easily gain access to your account. Even if that isn't the case, in the event you forget or lose your password you have no way of resetting it if you've lost access to the DEA... But yeah since they're prone to just be abused or used for spam bots... many forums and such have DEA blacklists setup in order to block and ban the use of them... I've even seen sites that would ban active users if they realized a DEA was used for the account.
Should be fine here, but on other forums its worth looking into to ensure they're okay with it.
